Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart Songtext
von Soft Cell

Something′s gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
Made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my days


(I wanna tell you now)
(Something′s gotten hold of my hand)
(Dragging my soul to a beautiful land)
(Yeah, something has invaded my night)
(Painting my sleep with a colour so bright)
(Changing the grey, changing the blue)
(Scarlet for me, scarlet for you)

I've got to know if this is the real thing
(I've got to know what′s making my heart sing, oh yeah)
A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
(Each minute spent with you is the right time)
(Every hour (yeah) every day (yeah)
(You touch me and my mind goes astray)
(And baby yeah, and baby yeah)

Something′s gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

(In a world that was war)
In a world that was war
(I once lived in a time)
(That was peace)
(With no trouble at all)


(But then you, you, you)
(You came my way)
But then you came my way

(And a feeling unknown)
(Shook my heart)
(Made me want you to stay)
(All of my nights)
(And all of my days)

(I wanna tell you now: something′s gotten hold of my heart)
(Keeping my soul and my senses apart)
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
(Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you)
